I've installed virtualbox-bin 1.5.4, I need usb2 support etc. I've configured two virtual machines to use vbox0 and vbox1 on host networking.
I followed the guide at the Gentoo wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO:_VirtualBox
My user is in the tuntap group to provide access to /dev/net/tun etc I didn't want to change the permissions to 666

Both guest are working with networking correctly aside from the error I get from the host when I my user tries to ping.
Code:
ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted

My concern is that other user apps may fail to function correctly, any pointers where I should look to resolve this?

Hmm, ok had to reset the permissions on ping
Code:
chmod 4711 /bin/ping
